Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - NT 201
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: NT 201 (IncobotulinumtoxinA, Xeomin) - Main Period (1 treatment cycle): subjects to receive intramuscular injection of NT 201 (400 units) into muscles of the lower limb.

Open Label Extension Period (4-5 treatment cycles): subjects to receive intramuscular injection of NT 201 (up to 800 units) into muscles of the lower limb and upper limb, if indicated.

Placebo comparator: Placebo - Main Period (1 treatment cycle): subjects to receive intramuscular placebo injection into muscles of the lower limb.

Open Label Extension Period (4-5 treatment cycles): subjects to receive intramuscular injection of NT 201 (up to 800 units) into muscles of the lower limb and upper limb, if indicated.


Treatment: Drugs: NT 201
Active ingredient: Clostridium Botulinum neurotoxin Type A free from complexing proteins. Solution for injection prepared by reconstitution of powder with 0.9% Sodium Chloride (NaCl).
